why the same outfit = bad?

[solticisekf]

It always baffled me. Having a similar taste in clothes -> wearing the same thing seems actually nice.

Re: why the same outfit = bad?

[dreemyweird]

I don't get this, either. I love seeing people who wear the same things I do.

Re: why the same outfit = bad?

I have some half assed theories to answer that, but the truth is I really don't know. Personally, I've never really cared. If I wore the same shirt as someone as school, we'd always laugh at the coincidence.

This has been shown to be class-correlated, actually. Lower-class people tend to not be angry over finding out they have the same shirt/purse/car as a neighbor or friend. Middle-class and up tend to get butthurt.

ayrt

At least you said correlated, because the one time I remember it happening involved a band member whose family was firmly planted in the middle class. She did notice that we were wearing the same shirt, but she also took it in stride. We weren't friends but got along pretty well and weren't huge on being in style.

It may invite comparisons of the "who wore it better?" variety that both parties fear they will wind up losing. Less obvious, direct competition in different outfits.

Re: why the same outfit = bad?

[(Anonymous)]

I have no clue.

I also don't understand why wearing the same thing often is bad. I like having a small wardrobe so I don't have to waste time in the morning deciding what to wear.

Re: why the same outfit = bad?

[(Anonymous)]

Individuality is important to some people, especially during their teens/early-adulthood. They express their identity and/or express something about their place in the world through their choice in clothes, so it can be unsettling when someone wears something similar.

On the flip side, you have certain groups with 'uniforms' that mark you out as being part of that circle, wherein wearing if not the same clothes, but definitely similar clothes is the whole point.

tl;dr, clothes can have a strong correlation with identity and some people react accordingly.

Re: why the same outfit = bad?

[(Anonymous)]

I think... I think the deal is that it implies that the outfit is overly generic or easy to obtain, and that the people wearing it therefor lack originality or a sense of fashion.

Highly fashionable clothing is generally unusual (very unique pieces or composition) or rare in some way (not available in regular retail stores, underground labels, very expensive, etc.). So if an outfit is so easy to get and assemble that two people at a party were wearing it, then that means that it's too common and plain.
